The -r option (depth) limits the number of "clicks" httrack 
can walk through the site, from the top index (top index = 
the index httrack generated). -r2 means two clicks from the 
top index, that is, depth of 1 from original urls

The -%e option (external depth) is the same, but for all 
links that would not have been captured normally. This is a 
very specific, and potentially dangerous option, because 
setting a too large external depth can cause a global WWW 
mirroring..

Generally, you should NEVER use the external depth, which 
is an horrible hack. You should also avoid the depth 
option. These options are a bit useless with filters, which 
are a more powerful (and easier) way to control the scope 
of the mirror. To sum up: don't use -r and -%e unless you 
exactly know what you are doing :)
